If anyone is interested in more articles such as this, I am considering posting previous articles by Martinez, as well as other sources as I find them, on Tolkien's works. Perhaps 1 a day until they are all posted to allow people to digest them in a structured manner.
I will keep a ping list of those that would like to be alerted when I do. Simply let me know if you would like to be on the list and you will be pinged. Any other ping list owners are free to ping their list as well. The more the merrier. :-)
Certainly ping me... I think ecurbh would likely ping his ringer list!
This is great background for us to have access to. Even if we don't have time to read all of them now, it would be good to have them here for later conversations about the characters!
